one of the good ones actually on going if you have not yet try it i encourage you to do so

 

[Abhai]

one of the slow ones.
if you have not tried it yet, i encourage you to not do it for at least 5-6 years.
to give the devs enough time to reach chapter 7-8, fingers crossed, and for you to have more content to enjoy it properly, fingers crossed.

This game has two years of development and four chapters delivered, averaging six months per chapter. Why are you so pessimistic?

I really should pay more attention. I played this back in May and didn't even realize it was the same game developer as prince of suburbia until I replaced it just recently. Honestly, when I realized that I was a little bit disappointed in this game. I really enjoyed the art style and animation of prince of suburbia. I'm not knocking the art in this game, it's great for what it is, but to me Daz art is just a little bit less...something. The drawn art style of prince of suburbia really captured a lot more of the emotion and context of the story than daz models never could.

That said, loved both of the games, this isn't a criticism, just saying I preferred the other art style.

damn... give the story teller some weed or something for inspiration/creativity.
I was hoping this would be a good game, but now i have serious doubts about it.
when a game-dev needs his community to come up with ideas. i know two things.

1* its for milking most out of the supporters
2* there isnt really a full story planned, and stuff just get made up as the game development progresses.
i dont mind nr1.. but nr2 usually results in shitty stories.

Tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game.

 

[DougDimmadope]

anyone else frustrated this is the only daz game without cumshots/creampie? like cmon 'shot' is in the title

 

[n00bi]

Tell me you haven't played the game without telling me you haven't played the game.

Lol what ?
Tell me what you see without telling me what you see.

If you read the dev post you can clearly see that it's referring to a fan request render set, not the actual game. The dev has already storyboarded the entire story so the dev doesn't "need the community to come up with ideas"... something you would know if you actually followed this game. So your shitposting was completely baseless.

Jericho85 while i may have read&misunderstood the post in its entirely.
Learn to distinguish between criticism & shit posting.
Ididnt trash the game per say. i stated my concerns about what you can see some games do.
And yea the story in most of them isnt good, usually shit. there are exceptions ofc.
And no i dont follow this game, i played it once i saw it here back in march and moved on to other games.

Having that said, i still dont see the point in having a fan requests, voting polls etc.
Unless intentions is nr1 as stated in my prev post. "dev wants $ which is understandable"
but to me it looks like its:
"lets make nice renders, not game renders just stupid wallpapers etc, oh and perhaps the suckers want 4k too if we have the time,
yea lets spend time on this instead of doing next scene renders, do coding, bugfixes etc."

Its just my opinion.
opinions are like asses, you dont have to agree but if you say you dont have one, i know youre full of shit.

Yet here you still are....

Literally not uncommon at all. A lot of devs do things like this for their patrons. So even if you think what you posted was valid criticism for this VN (which it wasn't) with your talk of "milking", lack of planning, and "shitty vns", it was actually just another completely baseless drive-by shitpost because you don't know this dev or the VN.
